Tank less filler
Cleaning weight filling machines and treating effluents represent a non-negligable expense.
Treatment expenses (water, detergents…) are added to the cost of machine down-time. These unproductive and environmentally-unfriendly procedures are issues focused on by fillers, open to any suggestions that will reduce the impact of these negative factors.
One solution consists of getting rid of the product tank, thereby reducing cleaning time and costs.
Get rid of the product tank… not an easy task!
Getting rid of the product tank introduces other serious problems.
The main function of this tank is to regulate pressure of the product filled and to ensure filling accuracy regardless of its viscosity.
Not incorporating a product tank consequently means running the risk of having incorrectly filled containers and limiting machine use to only one product type of a given viscosity.
It is easily understood that this choice is therefore contrary to the machine flexibility option required by all fillers.
To date, fillers therefore had to choose between a machine with a product tank able to adapt to a wide range of products but with high cleaning costs, or a machine without a product tank with filling capabilities limited to a specific range of viscosities but with lower cleaning costs.
With RP2, Serac’s new, tank-less filling machine, this compromise is no longer necessary.
Serac proposes RP2, a tank-less filling machine designed for use with ALL types of products
RP2 is able to handle products ranging in viscosity from 10 to 700 cpo and its operating principle is simple.
Serac has installed a new patented pressure regulation system between the product tank and the filling machine. This technology makes it possible to eliminate the product tank while retaining all the virtues of weight filling and reducing water consumption during cleaning.
This process combined with the « Multiflow » filling nozzle which won the 2003 Packaging Oscar, is able to fill a wide range of products with the same machine.
Up to 70% less water and effluents
The product circuit is very short, the voluminous product tank is gone, cleaning takes place in a closed loop circuit. Where once 250 litres of water were necessary, now only 80 litres are used to clean, rinse and change products.
The filler reduces time, products, water and effluents.
RP2’s ambitiously shows its high-performance in the areas of production, adaptability, low running cost and environmental friendliness.
